Unlike the older soft-top 3 Series drop-tops, this E93-generation convertible in BMW's lineup uses a folding metal hardtop that stows in the trunk, and that mechanism is the single biggest thing separating it from a normal 328i. Front End leads the damage board at 100%. Across the make a recent BMW sold for a median winning bid near $2,500 before fees, most between $1,200 and $6,200; hardtop convertibles draw a smaller, more specific buyer than the coupe or sedan, which can mean less bidding pressure. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The retractable roof runs on a set of electric-hydraulic motors and pumps that fold the panels and stow them, and when any one of them weakens the whole cycle can stall partway – a roof stuck half-open is a much bigger repair than a torn fabric top would be on an older car. Ask for a video of the full cycle rather than taking "roof works" on faith, and budget accordingly if the seller can't provide one. The mechanism also eats into trunk space even when it's up, so confirm that matters less to you than the top itself. Under the hood, the same N52 or later N51 six carries the plastic cooling-system parts common to this era – expansion tank, water pump – so ask about that history too. Treat a hard front hit reaching the strut towers as a total-loss candidate on this unibody car.
Buying is quick: register free – no dealer license – set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
